A number of current F1 drivers will take on some of the best from the PGA Tour in a golf event ahead of the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, Pierre Gasly, and Alex Albon will participate in the ‘Netflix Cup’, a golfing event organized by Netflix, along with PGA golfers Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Max Homa, and Rickie Fowler. The event will be held at Wynn Golf Club, just four days before the Las Vegas race next month. The format includes four two-man teams competing over eight holes, with the top two teams going head-to-head on the ninth hole. The event aims to bring increased fandom to both Formula 1 and PGA TOUR, and is Netflix’s first ever live sports event. The success of the F1 documentary ‘Drive to Survive’ has contributed to the growth of Formula 1 in the US, and this event is seen as a fitting way to kick off the inaugural race weekend in Las Vegas.
